Expert: Natasha Millikan - 3/2/2013

QuestionHi, my rat Nikki is so sweet but she has a lump under her arm. I have gone too every website I can and think it might be a cyst. She is acting normal and still happy and hungry. I would prefer to remove this myself if possible but I don't know the best way to do it.

AnswerHi Jenny,

Debbie, one of the other experts and my mentor, explains everything about lumps.
